[分享] 2009全球天文年主題曲 ── Shoulders of Giants
去參加了兩天的研討會
第二天,去了天文年的開幕儀式
看到了許許多多,熱愛天文的人齊聚一堂
那種感動,一直累積到,孫維新教授撥放這段音樂與影片時
聽著孫教授現場翻譯這段影片
實在是另人感動
雖然我愛天文,只是插花性質的
我愛看星星,追著他們到處跑
可是我沒有相機,也沒有望遠鏡
在天文社四年,我沒獨立組裝過望遠鏡,也不曾拍過一張天文照片
可是,我愛天文,也喜歡把這種感動帶給大家
2008年八月在新疆看日全食
行李箱裡,裝了兩隻望遠鏡,不過都是替別人分擔重量帶的
我,也帶了兩件器材 ── 眼鏡兩副
因為怕眼鏡出意外,多帶一副以防萬一
在我的腦海裡記下了當時的感動
當這首歌響起時
這十幾年來,玩天文的回憶一一浮現
那一次又一次在課堂上講過的主題
一遍又一遍在各種文章上看到的知識
四百年來,天文學家的努力
我不太會形容這種心裡的感動....
反正... 聽歌吧... 去尋找這首給帶給你心裡不同的感動~
這首歌,也獻給所有熱愛天文的人
Shoulders of Giants

It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur
A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur
It was Summertime... 1609
when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time
and he saw mountains and craters on the moon
and a Milky Way with thousands of stars
and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons
he was the only man on Earth that night who knew
That Copernicus was right
come outside with me tonight
and I can show you wonders of the world
to surprise and delight
I've got my telescope with me
just wait until you see
that on the Shoulders of Giants....
... we'll see beyond!
The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown
since Galileo's telescope first focused the unknown
Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past
And we're discovering the Universe's secrets at last
And there are geysers on Saturn's icy moon
and planets circling hundreds of stars
while all the Universe expands like a balloon
from Galileo's tiny scope we've come so far
Galileo was right
when he looked out in the night
and he discovered wonders of the world
to surprise and delight
I've got my telescope with me
just wait until you see
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants...
And every step follows the one before
and opens up a new frontier to explore
our 'scopes are dancing in space to see the beauty and grace
Oh, Galileo would approve, that's for sure
And still for me and you we can join in on this too
Just climb up here with me where we'll see more
It's a calm and cloudless night come outside with me tonight
and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight
I've got my telescope with me just wait until you see (oh, wait until you see)
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants (Galileo knew)
That Copernicus was right (Johannes)
Come outside with me tonight (Kepler found those)
and I can show you wonders of the world (planetary motions on the)
to surprise and delight (Shoulders of Giants)
I've got my telescope with me (And Isaac)
Just wait until you see (Newton found his)
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants (Universal Laws)
(He stood on the Shoulders of Giants...)
...to see beyond!
